Steps Toward Financial Fitness – A Free Calculator

Published February 09, 2014

One of the steps toward financial fitness that writer Jan M. Rosen called attention to in a special report on “Your Taxes” in The New York Times is the AICPA’s Total Tax Insights calculator. “One way to get a handle on what you’re likely to owe in April is to use the free and simple Total Tax Insights calculator, offered by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants at totaltaxinsights.org,” Rosen wrote. “It tells users much more than their projected income-tax bills: By clicking on your state and filling out a form, you can gauge the impact of more than 20 different federal, state and local taxes.” AICPA Vice President for Taxation Ed Karl told the Times the goal is to help people develop “a broad picture of their financial situations.”
